Richard Pryor: 1940 - 2005
One of the most popular comics of my generation, Richard Pryor, passed last night of a heart attack. He was 65.
Pryor was best known for his four-letter comedy, and was an inspiration to later stand-up guys such as Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy. Hit movies included Stir Crazy and Silver Streak.
The line for which I know him best came during a movie with Gene Wilder, the title of which I can't recall at the moment. The line goes, "Dat's right, dat's right, we bad". It's still in my repetoire today.
Richard Pryor will be missed.

Silver Streak. A movie also containing the not-yet-hit-the-wall Jill Clayburgh, as well- back when she still knew how to wear jeans.
